This herb is great for improving memory and concentration. Rosemary also has digestive benefits — it’s carminative, which means it helps release trapped gas from the digestive tract.

That’s why rosemary tea is excellent for relieving bloating and flatulence. If you want to improve digestion or ease gas, it’s best to drink rosemary infusions after meals.

Rosemary Apple Drink

Ingredients:

• 1 apple
• 1/2 tablespoon dried rosemary or 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• 300 ml water

Preparation:

1. Wash the apple thoroughly, then cut it into cubes and remove the seeds.
2. If using fresh rosemary, wash it as well.
3. Put the apple cubes in a pot with the water and bring it to a boil.
4. When the water boils, add the rosemary, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat.
5. Let it cool with the lid on.
6. Once the drink reaches a comfortable temperature, strain the mixture and serve. If you want to sweeten it, honey is best — avoid white sugar since it can reduce the medicinal effects of herbs.

This drink has a rich and enjoyable flavor, especially if you use a sweet apple. You can drink it anytime, but it’s particularly recommended before bedtime, as rosemary can help improve sleep quality.
